Peter Obi Honours Umar Who Saved Community From Fire After Tanker Caught Fire by DesChyko: 6:01pm On Apr 14

Today in Akwanga, Nasarawa State during our journey from Jos, Mr. Peter Obi made a touching stop at the Lafiya Road Market—not just as a leader, but as someone deeply moved by a powerful act of bravery.

He came to recognize a young hero named Umar, whose quick thinking and selfless courage saved an entire community and surrounding businesses. When a fire broke out as a tanker offloaded fuel at a filling station, they were unable to put out the fire. While people scampered away for safety, Umar didn’t flee. Instead, he sprang into action. Risking his own life, he entered the burning tanker and drove it out and away from the filling station, preventing what could have been a major devastating explosion. Unfortunately, some shops close to how far he could take the tanker before jumping out, were burnt.

Thanks to Umar’s fearless decision, countless lives, businesses, and homes were protected. Akwanga remains safe because one man chose to act with courage when it mattered most. His Excellency, Peter Obi highlighted the grave importance of this act of bravery in this difficult times, where a huge amount of life, businesses, and properties could have been lost.

This is the Nigeria we believe in—where ordinary people become heroes, and where true leadership means pausing to say: we see your courage, we honour your sacrifice, and we are inspired by your example.

wether long time ago or short time ago, a good man is always a good man while a bad man is always one; this kind of gesture can never be heard of the drug lord.
Please can someone help me with the picture where Tinubu were handing 75cl groundnut oil to poor widows.

Even though it happened a lot time ago why did the federal government not reward or recognize Umar for risking his life to save multiple lives and properties. If Umar’s bravely meant nothing to an elected president or a sitting Governor, someone has done the needful.

Someone close to Peter Obi should tell him that neither Obasanjo, Yar Adua, GEJ, Buhari nor Tinubu did a tenth of these to win presidential elections in Nigeria. If he keeps banking on building these humanitarian campaigns, he will make it easy for Tinubu's second term. His team needs to be smarter and more realistic.

Thank God for the young man's bravery. Many of you that are writing rubbish about Obi would have run away. A new Nigeria is possible when you shun hate, bigotry, umbrellas and small bags of rice.
